I think I may enjoy good sarcasm a little too much.

Why do Democrats allow Republicans to blame Democrats for NAFTA when it was a more Republicans who voted for it and many more Democrats voted against it than Republicans? I think most Democrats don’t even remember. They need to pin it back on Republicans where it belongs.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Wow. Donald Trump is holding affordable housing hostage until Congress passes his voter suppression bill.

He is literally delaying help for families struggling to afford a home in order to make it harder for married women and Black Americans to vote.

He is a sick man!

#BREAKING: Struggling MAGA senior voter: I actually have panic attacks. I’ve heard a couple this past week, and I get very emotional over it. I don’t want to work anymore, but I can’t afford to retire…It’s not an overnight thing, but it’s been two years now. You said you’d bring down the grocery prices. Literally I must be the most angry person when I grocery shop because I buy the same things every week, and I see it jump EVERY WEEK, it’s not every couple month, it’s literally every week.” 😢

US dictator-in-the-making begins to put enormous posters of himself in public buildings, such as the Department of Labor building in Washington D.C.

About 1.24 million deaths in the USA have been officially recorded with COVID-19 as a cause.

Zero to low single digits for definitively certain deaths from COVID vaccines.

Lying conspiracy theorist Ron Johnson may be preparing for his next embarrassing Meet the Press appearance.

Q: Are you concerned about the latest inflation numbers that came out this morning?

TRUMP: No, I love it. I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over -- do you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know? Iran until right now.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

The inflation rate in Biden's last month in office was 2.9%. Trump (supported by a Republican Congress) has driven it up to 4.2%.

Thank you, voters, for your attention to this matter.

We had press releases about this, we showed it all to you with their laid-out plan in Project 2025... people scoffed at us.
Well, here is Mike Johnson saying Republicans will cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security next year.
Good luck.

@HunterBiden Hunter, these jackass trolls can post all the videos of a stumble they want.

This is the man I remember, the one I voted for, who's better on his worst day than trump is on his best.

#BREAKING: Velshi: “What if I told you this? The Trump administraction had ALREADY spent 50 TIMES that much in taxpayer money to build his ballroom? What if I told you Trump had already taken $50 billion out of the U.S. treasury and spent it, all as part of what looks very much like a pay to play scheme to finance his vanity project? And I’m not making this up, a brand new report from the government watchdog group Public Citizen looked into the private donors who are supposedly funding the Trump ballroom as a gift. Guess what their investigation found? ‘More than half of the publicly identified donors…have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more $50 billion during the past six months.’ The report also found that most of the same companies are also facing federal enforcement actions over alleged wrongdoing and that some have had such actions suspended by the Trump administration since the start of Trump’s second term.”🙄

[Distracted Globe @DistractedTim]

@atrupar Single day voting? On a Tuesday. Paraphrasing: Let’s limit the ability for Americans to vote as much as possible.

[Elissa Slotkin @ElissaSlotkin]

Trump threatened to have me hanged over a 90-second video I made. I'm a sitting United States Senator and spent decades serving this country, and it didn't matter. Keeping your head down will not keep you safe. Staying quiet will not keep you safe.

BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico:

“I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas. 

And unlike Ken, I believe that you, James, believe in unity over division and that you know how to assemble not only Democrats but Independents and Republicans and we need that right now. 

We need unity, we don't need any more division and that's why I'm supporting you.”

Harrison Barnes has been rocking #UNC team-issued Jordan 40s in the NBA Finals.

The Black Falcon is still the highest-rated recruit to commit to the Tar Heels in the modern recruiting era (since 2000).

Has made $221.1 million in career contract earnings.

Legend.

BREAKING: Hakeem Jeffries Has A Message For Trump:

"Why does Donald Trump always have to ruin a good thing?"

Jeffries was reacting to Trump's attendance at the NBA Finals, arguing New Yorkers were trying to celebrate the Knicks' first Finals appearance in 27 years without politics taking center stage.

[Niall Stanage @NiallStanage]

This is a devastating interview.

Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.

Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

[Redd @ReddCinema]

Wild commentary from Jennifer Welch on MSNBC.

"JD Vance is married to a woman of Indian descent. He has mixed race children. So to all of the MAGA voters out there, if this man will not defend his wife and will not defend his kids, do you think he gives a crap about you?"

[Distracted Globe @DistractedTim]

@atrupar 🤣🤣🤣 What an idiot trying desperately to reach idiots one more time!

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Trump's Justice Department has seemingly refused all election integrity measures for the upcoming midterms.

The admin has canceled election integrity training, deleted a prosecution guide for election infractions, and does not appear to be appointing an Election Crimes branch director.
